In the early time Vikramshila run from Bhagalpur to Patna Junction and from Patna, the boggies of Vikramshila were attached to Magadh Express and the train was then named Magadh Express, which leaves Patna Jn. at 8:00 pm. At that time Poorva Express and Magadh Express were the best trains leaving for New Delhi from Patna. Later on, when Mr. Nitish Kumar became the railway minister of India, he gave Vikramshila its own existence and since then Vikramshila Express uses to run from Bhagalpur to Anand Vihar on its own name. In the mean time, Mr. Kumar introduced Sampoorna Kranti Express from Patna to New Delhi. Both the trains were non stop from Patna to New Delhi (Mughalsarai & Kanpur - technical halts). This was a great relief for the passengers of Bhagalpur, Sultanganj, Bariarpur, Jamalpur Junction, Abhaipur, Kajra, Luckeesarai, Barhiya, Hathidah Junction & Mokama Junction. This is one of the fastest trains of Indian Railways. It runs from Bhagalpur to Mughalsarai With Diesel Engine, At Mughalsarai Diesel engine is replaced by Electric Engine. During its return from Anand Vihar (ANVT) to Mughalsarai It runs with Electric Engine, after Mughalsarai it runs with Diesel Engine.

The percentage of people travelling from Bhagalpur to any station by any train is the very less than Vikramshila alone. 12367 Up Vikramshila Express and 12393 Up Sampoorna Kranti Express both running time is same but 12367 arriving time is before than 12393 so 12367 has more chances to arriving right time at destination.
